Graphic Cling protective skin for 4G iPods

Graphic Collective has announced Graphic Cling for the iPod, a personalized protective skin for all sizes of 4th generation iPods (with click wheel). Graphic Cling features printed graphics on quality vinyl that provides a thin, long lasting, removable and re-usable protective skin that resists scuffs and scratches. Unlike paper type "tattoo" products that use adhesive, Graphic Clingu uses "static cling" to grip the iPod (and thus no leaves residue). It wraps around the iPod to protect the front, back and sides- including the screen, but provides dock access and works with most cases and holders. Graphic Cling is sold in packs of two for $10.

ShuffleClip for iPod shuffle now available

A new accessory is now available for Apple's iPod shuffle. Touted as an alternative to the lanyard included with the flash-based MP3 player, the ShuffleClip is made of PETG polymer: the ShuffleClip "compliments the design of your iPod while keeping it safe and secure. PETG is an extremely strong, yet flexible material that in many ways behaves more like aluminum than plastic. And unlike products made from other materials, the ShuffleClip will never scratch your iPod." It can be attached to a pocket, shirt, or briefcase. The ShuffleClip is available for $15.

Apple expands Grateful Dead offerings at iTunes

Apple today is expected to expand its Grateful Dead offerings, offering several new live performances at the iTunes Music Store. According to a posting on jambands.com, the entire collection available via the Dicks Picks and Vaultseries will be available for sale at iTunes: "The ITunes Music Store will offer these for sale as it currently offers the band's studio releases. Of additional interest to many Dead Heads is the fact that while the release of archival performance CDs will continue, some additional shows will also be made available exclusively via ITunes (with no specifics confirmed as yet)."
